    I have always been very lucky with my families and they actually ask for the bill (and have been known to tell me I should put my fees up )

    Feel for all of you who have issues with non willing payers though

    I know how you feel.But to be honest when I get my gas/electricity bill Im always saying not again! it comes around so soon.Do they moan or just say it without thinking if you know what i mean.Im always saying I get money in one hand then its taken away with the other hand depressing!.Ignore the moans.

    I have one parent who actually gives me the cheque for the month before I've even written then bill!

    Thankfully none who moan about the bill (well not in front of me!) And also been very lucky that I've not had a bad payer yet. I'm sure I have that pleasure to come at some point in my minding career though!

    I have a mixture of both kinds too - one parent actually said to me as I handed his invoice over "oh I hate it when you give these to me" to which I replied "it's a good job when your two arrive in a morning that I don't say to you - oh I hate it when you bring them"!!!!!

    I am extremely lucky that all my current parents pay me on time. It is a pleasure doing business with them, I feel appreciated (most of the time!)
